Solitude

Amidst all the laughter, voices and cheers
There was a soul who moved here and there
Unnoticed and unheard it crept in the shadows
Hoping it might find someone in the crowd that echoed

But no one came and no one saw
How devoid was her soul she thought
As she sat on a nearby bench
Inhaled and exhaled lonliness
That made her heart wrench

Solitude was her only friend
That wrapped around her every now and then
Not caring about her blemishes
Accepting her without any second guesses
